  • A Technology Comparison Adopting Ultra-Wideband for Memsen’S File Sharing and Wireless Marketing Platform
    A Technology Comparison Adopting Ultra-Wideband for Memsen’s file sharing and wireless marketing platform What is Ultra-Wideband Technology? Memsen Corporation 1 of 8 • Ultra-Wideband is a proposed standard for short-range wireless communications that aims to replace Bluetooth technology in near future. • It is an ideal solution for wireless connectivity in the range of 10 to 20 meters between consumer electronics (CE), mobile devices, and PC peripheral devices which provides very high data-rate while consuming very little battery power. It offers the best solution for bandwidth, cost, power consumption, and physical size requirements for next generation consumer electronic devices. • UWB radios can use frequencies from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz, a band more than 7 GHz wide. Each radio channel can have a bandwidth of more than 500 MHz depending upon its center frequency. Due to such a large signal bandwidth, FCC has put severe broadcast power restrictions. By doing so UWB devices can make use of extremely wide frequency band while emitting very less amount of energy to get detected by other narrower band devices. Hence, a UWB device signal can not interfere with other narrower band device signals and because of this reason a UWB device can co-exist with other wireless devices. • UWB is considered as Wireless USB – replacement of standard USB and fire wire (IEEE 1394) solutions due to its higher data-rate compared to USB and fire wire. • UWB signals can co-exists with other short/large range wireless communications signals due to its own nature of being detected as noise to other signals.

  • LPT, COM, 1394, USB, USB-C LPT IEEE 1284, LPT (Англ. Line Print Terminal; Также Параллельный Порт, По
    LPT, COM, 1394, USB, USB-C LPT IEEE 1284, LPT (англ. Line Print Terminal; также параллельный порт, порт принтера) — международный стандарт параллельного интерфейса для подключения периферийных устройств персонального компьютера. В основном используется для подключения к компьютеру принтера, сканера и других внешних устройств (часто использовался для подключения внешних устройств хранения данных), однако может применяться и для других целей (организация связи между двумя компьютерами, подключение каких-либо механизмов телесигнализации и телеуправления). В основе данного стандарта лежит интерфейс Centronics и его расширенные версии (ECP, EPP). Название LPT образовано от наименования стандартного устройства принтера LPT1 (Line Printer Terminal или Line PrinTer) в операционных системах семейства MS-DOS. Параллельный порт Centronics — порт, используемый с 1981 года в персональных компьютерах фирмы IBM для подключения печатающих устройств, разработан фирмой Centronics Data Computer Corporation; уже давно стал стандартом де-факто, хотя в действительности официально на данный момент он не стандартизирован. Изначально этот порт был разработан только для симплексной (однонаправленной) передачи данных, так как предполагалось, что порт Centronics должен использоваться только для работы с принтером. Впоследствии разными фирмами были разработаны дуплексные расширения интерфейса (byte mode, EPP, ECP). Затем был принят международный стандарт IEEE 1284, описывающий как базовый интерфейс Centronics, так и все его расширения. Разъемы. Порт на стороне управляющего

PART I Janusz Zalewski Dept. of Software Engineering, Florida Gulf Coast University Fort Myers, FL 33965, USA [email protected], http://www.fgcu.edu/zalewski/ Abstract: The objective of this paper is to present a historical overview of design choices for data acquisition and control systems, from the first developments in CAMAC, through the evolution of their designs operating in VMEbus, Firewire and USB, to the latest developments concerning distributed systems using, in particular, wireless protocols and time-triggered architecture. First part of the overview is focused on connectivity aspects, including buses and interconnects, as well as their standardization. More sophisticated designs and a number of challenges are addressed in the second part, among them: bus performance, bus safety and security, and others.

    Cable Discharge Event (CDE) Automated Test System Based on TLP Method Draft V3-2016.03.18 Wei Huang, Jerry Tichenor Web: www.esdemc.com Email: [email protected] Tel: (+1) 573-202-6411 Fax: (+1) 877-641-9358 Address: 4000 Enterprise Drive, Suite 103, Rolla, MO, 65401 Cable Discharge Event (CDE) Background What is CDE Event ? A Cable Discharge Event (CDE) is electrostatic discharge(s) between metal of a cable connector and the mating cable connector or plug. It is very common in daily life. When CDE happens, transient high current and high voltage pulses are generated into the connector pins and cause potential damage to the system with connector. The pulse characteristic is determined by the cable type, cable length, physical arrangement of the cable and system with connector, and system with connector side circuitry. A Generic CDE System Concept Why understanding CDE robustness is important ? The discharge processes are complicated due to the number of pins involved and their connections to a system. In addition, the occurrence rate and severity of the static discharge is important to design a robust system. Basic System Features: A well repeatable test setup to reproduce cable discharge events Pulse injection level covers different types of cable connections Additional System Features: Automatic computer controlled test for all available connector pins Automatic remove DUT residue charge safely after each pulse safely Integrate current and voltage probes to monitor CDE events on each pin ESDEMC Collected Cable Pins and Practical Passive
